Cocaine and Rain
I'm moving on to a wide open space called clarity.
You're still renting homes on the strip of insanity.
I’m visiting a new place called maturity.
I'm writing a new story called a different me.
I'm on a midnight train but for once I can see.
I always felt the sun when I was with you.
Now it feels so fresh but hurts like rain.
When the sky clears I can see I don't need you.
I'm different now, don't need this pain.
I loved you but keep your cocaine.
It was all wrong, but it felt so right.
Even when it's darkest there still shines a light.
You only think of me when I'm not around.
When you need something most it can't be found.
You're gliding on a freeway looking for your paradise.
Joni Mitchell says it's paved and buried underground.
I always felt the sun when I was with you.
Now it feels so fresh but hurts like rain.
When the sky clears I can see I don't need you.
I'm different now, don't need this pain.
I loved you but keep your cocaine.
I always felt the sun when I was with you.
Now it feels so fresh but hurts like rain.
When the sky clears I can see I don't need you.
I'm different now, don't need this pain.
I loved you but keep your cocaine.
